Oh, brother! are you kidding me with this?! although, I do prefer the old One Piece over the new one. Cowboy Bebop is fine the way it is and it will remain as one of my favorite shows for years to come. The difference is that One Piece doesn't seem to have any GAR characters like Jet, yet.

I saw someone say Cowboy Bebop shouldn't be compared to any other anime. They're right, other anime should be compared to Cowboy Bebop.

I don't want to trash One Piece, I love it and watch it religiously. Its just I chose Bebop because of the way stories are tied together. It touched more concepts, made me think more, and made me feel more in 26 episodes than One Piece has done in 670. The only thing it doesn't have that One Piece has is the sense of grand adventure, and even that it nearly touches on.

One Piece is a masterpiece, but it is ongoing and doesn't seem like it will ever end. Cowboy Bebop is a Magnum Opus that stands atop Magna Opera, and it really is the epilogue to one story while being the prologue to 3 more.
